Partagás Lusitanias Gran Reserva Arrives in Stores

Hunters & Frankau, the U.K. importer for Cuban cigars, has announced that it has received the Partagás Lusitanias Gran Reserva Cosecha 2007 and is beginning to send them to stores. The 7 5/8 x 49 cigar was announced at the XV Festival del Habano in February.

The Lusitanias Gran Reserva is limited to 5,000 boxes of 15 cigars. Ajay Patel of Hava Havana posted a video that shows additional lettering on the sides of the secondary bands, a slight modification than previous Gran Reserva releases.

@maxx Mitchell Orchant of C.Gars Ltd. just told me the prices will be released on Wednesday, which is when it becomes available beyond the LCDH in London. Still waiting to hear back from Ajay about it - and no prices are posted on his site either.
